These topics will still keep coming up because there are now nearly 8500 ppruners out there, so I think it's healthy to keep the discussions up, both old and new.
Hop, I think you must be winding me up in your beliefs on this matter, but if you are not please call John Cashman, Chief pilot at Boeing, on 001 206 655 0878. He will probably quote the Flight Operations Technical Bulletin number 01, dated October 22, 1999 applicable to, 707,727,737,757,767,777,747 and 747-400 aircraft. If you are working for a decent company they will have a copy of all these bulletins which I urge you to read. If you have a fax number I would be more than happy to send the bulletin to you.
By the way an SAS a/c in front of me the other day applied his correction and informed ATC on approach to a Norweigan airfield, they know their stuff as well.
The Brits will get there in the end, I have every faith.
